I had a reason. I currently hold a materials engineering job but don't have a materials engineering degree. I mostly do first article inspections which is something that no one else wants to do and that I consider to be pretty close to technician work. In other words, not exactly great experience for a materials lab elsewhere. The main purpose of this facility, to put it simply, is to figure out why shit breaks and I really haven't been doing that. So, I've been trying to do more in the way of figuring out why shit breaks which is more like engineering work and less like technician work. Basically I'm trying to get enough experience that the lack of degree wont matter. Got it?

At the moment, it appears that we are going to end up in San Diego sometime around September. Lucky for me, there's a depot out there and I get along with management here really well so transferring to the lab out there shouldn't be a problem. I really hope the destination doesn't change again, I'm pretty excited about living on Coronado.
